War in heaven is a PPA Loan winner and one of my best night sky images. So for today’s vlog I dug into my field recordings and we’ll look at how I made as well as a bunch of tips for getting amazing deep field starscapes.. I’ll keep it brief. Enjoy – Gav

I recently switched to the Sony A7R II and I’m finding it an amazing body. There’s countless YouTube reviews on this camera, so I don’t feel I need to make another. It’s a great system, with great ISO and great resolution that it makes amazing prints. Sony is leading the market, simple as that. But what about the viewfinder?
What I found lacking when I was considering this was details on what the EVF (Electronic Viewfinder) was like. Coming from years of traditional viewfinders on cameras like my Canon 5D series, I was unsure. I require a good viewfinder on my main camera. I could find no inside video of the EVF. I took the risk, but you don’t have to.
As it turns out the EVF has come into it’s own. At least with Sony. This fast digital view gives real time images and information with virtually no lag, it makes photographing easier, especially in low light. I love it. Here’s a quick video I made to show what the EVF looks like inside.

We know that Sony has been pushing hard towards the DSLR market that Canon and Nikon have pretty well cornered. They have now announced the D900, their first full frame pro level version.
Inside we find 25 megapixels, a 3 inch screen, 5fps, Minolta (as well as their own) lens support and built in steady shot. Some pretty solid specs, but it looks like Sony is still going to be a step behind the big boys in terms of at least high ISO shooting. Sony is coming against a tough crowd with this 3k SLR, and people won’t go easy. Still their looking to be a future contender in this space.
DPReview has a nice little hands on. This seems like a nice body, with some good things going for it. If Sony sticks with this, and doesn’t pull any stupid stunts akin to adding invasive DRM to our lenses or images (wink) they may really go somewhere in the pro market. We’ll keep and eye on them, and if any of you are using Sony bodies let us know what you think!
